Cozy Christmas Farmhouse at The B Farm

Hello my friends! Today I'm sharing The B Farm all cozied up for Christmas as part of the Cozy At Christmas Blog Tour. It's five days of Christmas goodness - I hope you will pop over and visit the other ladies. I'll share the links at the bottom of my post.

This year, I'm crazy about plaid! What? You too? To me, it just says "cozy" and "homey".

To begin, I dressed the table with red plaid placemats and red napkins from Audrey of Timeless Treasures. The plaid stockings are actually silverware holders my friend Susan gave me a couple of years ago. So cute!

The red pillows on the bench were wrapped with red and white plaid ribbon. They remind me of presents! The green plates with pinecone motif were a Good Will find many years ago.

Then in the kitchen window, I hung some crocheted lace also from Audrey. It's not plaid but it says farmhouse cozy to me!

Isn't it pretty?

The cute red and white checked apron (another wonderful item from Audrey) hangs on the door to the laundry room next to the coffee station.

Moving into the living room, I placed this plaid bucket from Target's Spot next to the fireplace where it holds my magazines.

I then replaced my white curtains with these red and green plaid ones. Oh my! I'm loving the rich color next to the white walls. I'm seriously considering finding some red buffalo print for after Christmas. I love how cozy red makes the room feel!

Lastly, I decided to decorate the master bedroom this year. I put up a small Christmas tree - red plaid ribbons tied on it with rustic ornaments looks very festive. It sits on my small red bench with a red blanket for a tree skirt.

I also bought new bedding from IKEA. I absolutely love the grey buffalo check with the red pillows and blanket. It looks so very cozy and inviting!

Oh how I love it! Even the lamps got dressed with red and black plaid ribbon.

So there you have it...my cozy Christmas farmhouse! I hope you enjoyed the tour. If you'd like to see more Cozy at Christmas spaces, please visit the blogs below.

Love is Christmas - A Cozy Christmas Tour

Christmas...that special magical time of year when family and friends gather together.

Where memories are made and laughter rings out.

Today, I am joining 14 other bloggers in a "Cozy Christmas blog tour" hosted by Katie of Let's Add Sprinkles. I'm so glad you could join me. (Links at the end of the post).

I remember waking up early...before Mom and Dad said we could get up...and gathering with my sisters, whispering and giggling in anticipation of the Christmas tree loaded with presents underneath it.

At the appointed time, we'd all jump out of bed and "wake" my parents (trust me, they were already awake from our excited whispers).

They'd get up and Mom would start the coffee pot,

Dad would get the boys up and make sure the camera was ready, then finally, we'd get to run to the living room where we would behold the wonders under the tree.

We didn't have much money but somehow my parents always managed to get us not only something we needed but also something we wanted.

Afterwards, we all got dressed and headed to church. Then it was back home where we spent the day playing with our new gifts and going to my grandparent's house.

Love is what makes Christmas special.

From the special times spent with family and friends to celebrating God's love for us through the Christmas story, it all comes together to create warm, cozy memories.
